You’ll find beautiful seeded loaves, studded with sunflower, pumpkin, and poppy seeds that go nicely with a cup of coffee, or just a quick smear of butter. Semi-sweet pan loaves are made with house-milled yellow corn, and conchas come with a thick sugar cookie frosting that's the right amount of sweet. They also carry a rotating list of weekend-only specials, like jalapeño cheddar biscuits and strawberry jujube tamales, so plan on getting there early before they sell out. We laminate our croissants, puff pastry and danishes on site, and only use the highest quality butter that has no added "natural flavorings."

The wholesale bakery has been supplying amazing baked goods around town for years but had never had a space of its own—until now.
The Bub & Grandma’s cafe in Glassell Park is an homage to the early-morning American diner, complete with cushy white booths and a wrap-around counter. There’s so much to take in at this perennial Venice hotspot — but pause to look in the very first glass case of the bakery, where all of beautifully executed pastries, cakes, pies, galettes, and more reside. At breakfast, try a flaky tahini or ham and cheese croissant, and if the carrot cake is available, don’t miss out on a slice slathered in cream-cheese frosting.

Augusto’s shelter is not unique along the Arroyo Seco, as many other dwellings have sprouted along the channel. The growth of homeless communities in open spaces throughout the city speaks to that problem, whether they’re under freeway onramps, in RVs lining the curbs or in encampments in and around green spaces.
